you know that if you turbo it your gunna have to take off your headers and intake right? lol you might as well just keep it NA, but if you want to turbo it just get the greddy kit or similar. Anyone with some mechanical knowledge can install it themselfs.

lol. piston and rod is pricy. just run turbo wit ur stock internal for now but low boost. But if ur lookin for piston u would have to get the type for running forced induction. Theres 3 types of piston styles.Theres Inverted dome pistion(which is for turbo/n20)Theres Dome piston(for n2o/na)and Flat top piston(na only). But if ull lookin for brand also, i perffer JE

Re: which turbo kits? (rells2000bluesi)
arias, je, and weisco pistons are all good, I'm running je 8:5:1 pistons with a set of eagle H beam rods. Basically anything forged is good! I heard bad things about CP pistons. things like cracking from too much boost. i.e. anything over 20 psi. other than running a good amount of boost you can either
A. sleeve it
B do a blockguard
I'd recommend sleeving it with Darton iron sleeves. Good rep, good product, save your *** if you boost a little too much. sleeves basically make the block bulletproof.
Blockguard is a safe way to boost, but requires a bit more tunning. The keyword is SAFE. Don't be stupid and boost like eleventey billion pounds of boost and think your motor is gonna hold all that. cuz it won't.
best of luck
